Stephanie,
It is from the 9th verse of "Stray Birds" By Rabindranath Tagore, a
Bengali poet.  It can be found in the 1916 translation from Bengali into
English.  The actual quotation is slightly different than what you asked
about:
	"Once we dreamt that we were strangers. 
	 We wake up to find that we were dear to each other."
You can see this on the WWW at
